The morning shift today for this location was so awesome! Now no shade but the facts are facts… this morning I went to the location I always go to Powder Springs and they were sooo busy. That’s fine…however, I went to go sit in the bar area and one of the servers was shaking their head… I didn’t even sit all the way down before I just left. It’s early in the morning and I want to feel welcomed where ever I’m spending my money at and Powder Springs is slick my spot and I always tip well but don’t get it twisted Austell location what’s up lol. Now to my experience with the Austell location! They were busy but they were on it and if I knew the names I would shout them out for real but anyways. The lead/manager was dope he was my server and he made sure I was good. You can tell he’s a good lead because of the team working so good together (it starts from the head..period) the two cooks worked together and was super nice had great communication, one waitress said hi and cleared my cream cups from the coffee I had, another waitress was gathering some cleannn cups (I add lol) and she asked me how I was doing…we just started having a great conversation. My point is ….greattttt environment! I don’t have to talk I can be quite and enjoy my food of course but it was the point of me wanting to not be on my phone. That beautiful sweet waitress with the clean cups and a customer beside me end up having a conversation about chocolate and talking about coffee. I loved it and to top it all off the food was really good, I had the classic grit bowl and yea come bring your family, friend, boo whatever and enjoy ….you never know you “might” have a great conversation and great food around someone you don’t know. This comment was so worth typing.

In town for business, hotel breakfast was a no show so we stopped at a familiar chain. So glad we did. The young man who served us today 6/16/22 at around 10 am was just amazing. So attentive, it was refreshing as so many places are having staffing issue. I hope management know what a gem they have in him. Good was good cooked to order, didn't even balk when my husband asked for steak and eggs as steak is not on the menu. Thanks for a wonderful meal. So glad the hotel breakfast fell through.
